The compounds embraced by Formula I above may be prepared by various methods involving well known chemical principles, among which the following are particularly preferred.

By reacting a 1,I,1-trichloro-2-amido-ethane of the formula wherein R; has the same meanings as in Formula I and R is a substituent which can be readily split off as an anion, preferably bromine or chlorine, with a secondary amine of the formula Rg-H (HI) wherein R, has the same meanings as in Formula I. The reaction is advantageously performed in the presence of an acid acceptor, preferably a tertiary aliphatic amine, such as triethylamine. If the amine of the Formula III is a relatively strong base, a commensurate excess over the stoichiometric amount required for reaction with compound II may serve as the acid acceptor. The reaction is advantageously also performed in the presence of an inert organic solvent, such as acetone, ether, tetrahydrofuran, methylene chloride, dimethylformamide or a lower alkanol.

A compound of the Formula I wherein R is a piperazino substituent of the formula shown under (1) above, may also be prepared by reacting a piperazine of the formula (I wherein R has the same meanings as in Formula I, with a 1,1,1-trichloro-2-amido-ethane of the Formula II as previously described, or also by converting a 1,1,l-trichloro-2-amido-2-piperazino-ethane of the formula 001: wherein R has the same meanings as in Formula I, into a 1,1,l-trichloro-2-amido-2-(N'-substituted piperazino)-ethane of the formula ll R1-C-NHOHN 4701; by reaction with the desired reaction partner, such as HN0 acylating agent, isocyanate, etc.

The starting compounds of the Formula V or their salts may be prepared by reacting a 1,1,1-trichloro-2- amide-ethane of the Formula II with piperazine within a very definite pH-range. If the reaction is carried out at a pH above the optimum value, symmetrical di-substitution products of the formula 0 o Rr-ii-NH-CH-N N-CH-HN-ii-Rr are formed. On the other hand, at a pH below the optimum value no reaction at all takes place. Thus, the compounds of the Formula V and their salts may be used as starting materials for a variety of asymmetrically substituted piperazine derivatives and are therefore useful as intermediates for the preparation of biocidal and biostatic agents.

Compounds of the Formula I wherein R is a morpholino substituent of the formula shown under (e) may be prepared by reacting a morpholine of the formula u (VII) wherein R has the same meanings as in Formula I, with a compound of the Formula II in the presence of an acid acceptor; or also by reacting a bis-(fl-chloro-ethyD-ether of the formula l n Cl-GHr-CE 0 (ll-CHs-Cfi 11 (VIII) wherein R has the same meanings as in Formula I, with a 1,1,1-trichloro-2-amido-2-amino ethane of the formula Rr-(ii-NH-OH-NH:

wherein R; has the same meanings as in Formula I.

Thus, for example, the compounds of Examples 3, 30, 31, 34, 37, 38, 39, 40, 43, 64, 67, 74 and 75 are especially effective as contact fungicides against genuine mildew fungi on plants; the compounds of Examples 12, 44, 49 and 55 are especially effective systemic fungicides against mildew fungi on plants; the compounds of Examples 5, 13, 53, 65, 66 and 72 are effective contact and systemic fungicides against mildew fungi on plants.

The growth of Aspergillus niger is effectively inhibited, for example, by the compounds of Examples 11, 19, 23, 24, 25, 28, 37, 42, 43, 48, 57, 61, 74, 76, 77, 79, 110, 141 and 169.

Effective against F usarium oxysp. are, for example, the compounds of Examples 10, 37, 74, 75, 76, 77 and 79.

Very eeifctive bacteriocides against Pseua'amonas morspruncrum are, for example, the compounds of Examples 57, 71, 74, 77 and 79; against Xanthomonas malv. the compounds of Examples 10, 42, 57, 74, 76, 77 and 79; against Pythz'um ultim. the compounds of Examples 9, 10, 57, 74, 76 and 79; and against Rhizoctonia solani the compounds of Examples 9 and 10.

For the purpose of controlling or combatting the growth of the various microorganisms set forth above, the compounds according to the present invention are applied to areas infested with such microorganisms as active ingredients in conventional liquid or solid compositions, such as dusting powders, suspensions, emulsions, solutions, aerosols and the like. Such compositions may additionally comprise conventional inert auxiliary ingredients, such as emulsifiers, diluents and adhesion-enhancing agents, as well as other biocidal or biostatic ingredients. The effect tive concentration range of the compounds of the instant invention in such compositions is from 0.00001 to 1% by weight, preferably 0.01 to 0.5% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition. Dusting powders and socalled ultra-low-volume (ULV) compositions may have a higher concentration of active ingredient.

The following examples illustrate a few compositions comprising a compound according to the present invention as an active ingredient and represent the best modes contemplated of putting the invention into practical use. The parts are parts by weight unless otherwise specified.

EXAMPLE Dusting powder The powder was compounded from the following ingredients:

Parts 1,1,1-trichloro 2 foramido 2 (N-methyl-N-pbromophenyl-amino)-ethane 1 Talcum 98 Methyl cellulose 1 The ingredients were admixed with each other, and the mixture was milled into a homogeneous powder. The resulting dusting powder was an effective contact fungicide for use on plants infested with genuine mildew.

EXAMPLE 191 Wettable powder The powder was compounded from the following ingredients:

Parts 1,1,1 trichloro 2 formamido 2 (N'-acetylpiperazino)-ethane Kaolin 55 Colloidal silicic acid 10 Lignin sulfonate (dispersing agent) 9 Sodium tetrapropylene-benzene-sulfonate (wetting agent) Emulsion concentrate (a) The concentrate was compounded from the following ingredients:

Parts 1,1,1 trichloro 2 formamido 2 imidazolinoethane Sodium tetrapropylene-benzene-sulfonate (anionic emulsifier) 5 Nonylphenol polyglycol ether (nonionic emulsifier) 20 Propylene glycol 32.5 N-methyl-pyrrolidone 32.5

The ingredients were admixed with each other in conventional fashion to make an emulsion concentrate which, prior to use, was emulsified in a sufiicient amount of water to make the active ingredient conventration in the aqueous emulsion between 0.0001 and 0.5% by weight, based on the total weight. The resulting sprayable aqueous was Parts 1,1,1 trichloro 2 formamido 2 (N-ethoxycarbonylpiperazinoethane 80 Calcium lignin sulfonate 8 Colloidal silicic acid Sodium sulfate 5 Diisobutyl-naphthalene sodium sulfonate 2 EXAMPLE 193 Aerosol spray The aerosol composition was compounded from the following ingredientsz Parts 1,1,1 trichloro 2 formamido 2 (N'-formylpiperazino)-ethane 0.05 Sesame oil 0.10 N-Methyl-pyrrolidone 10.00 Mixture of Frigen 11 and 12 89.85

The trichloroethane compound, the sesame oil and the N- rnethyl-pyrrolidone were admixed with each other, and the mixture'was charged into an aerosol can equipped with an aerosol spray valve. The cans were then pressurized with the propellant gas mixture in conventional manner. The aerosol spray discharged from the pressurized can was an effective fungistatic contact composition for use in inhibiting the growth of Aspergillus niger.

While the present invention has been illustrated with the aid of certain specific embodiments thereof, it will be readily apparent to others skilled in the art that the invention isnot limited to these particular embodiments, and that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the appended claims.
